    He gets shaken mentally too. He got beat by Murray last year during the indoor hard courts in Asia and he took time off after that. Then uncle Tony talked about Rafa not being right mentally. Losing in the first round of a grand slam can hurt you mentally as well.

    He didn't lose in the first round, he lost in the second.

    Good move to rest for the U.S. open, hard court season about to begin and that beats your knees up. Rafa's trying to get either that or the Aussie before he takes the French again.
